EXPRESS HEAD HAS PLANS AMERICAN TO BETTER SERVICE) IN - NEW OFFICES ADDED. George C. Taylor Directs Absorption of Larva Share of United States Company Former Trade. With the actual retirement on July 1 of the United States Express Com pany, shippers all over the country will be greatly interested In noting the ef fect the rearrangement of contracts with the three large companies will have on routing of shipments. The D. L. & W., together with the Pere Marquette, has been taken over by the Adams Express Company, while the Baltimore & Ohio, together with the Frisco system, has been acquired by Wells-Fargo. All other lines operated by the United States Express Company will be occu pied by the American Express Com pany. These Include the Rock Island system, with a total of 8000 miles; the Lehigh "Valley Railroad, 1451 miles; Central Railroad, 876 miles, and Philadelphia & Reading, 1600 miles. These roads, together with their sub sidiary lines, give the American Ex press Company nearly 14,000 miles of railroad lines, making a total of more than 74,000' miles operated exclusively by the company, which will maintain 10,000 offices. The Importance of this change in the exDress operating map becomes more apparent when shippers appreciate that it gives to the American Express Com- pany direct routings to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, with new southern and western connections. This company will have Its own di rect lines from Philadelphia to Buffalo over the P. & R. and Lehigh Valley lines, connecting at Buffalo with its other lines, the L. S. & M. S., Michigan Cen tral, New Tork, Chicago & St. Louis, C. C. C. & bt- Louis and urana xruna. By the acquisition of the Rock Is land lines, the company will extend Its service to Santa Rosa, N. M.; Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Denver, Colo.; bt Joseph, Mo.; Atchison ana Leaven worm, Ken.: Burlington and Keokuk, la, Omaha, Neb.; St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minn., over .that road. A study of the new man of the com pany which has Just been Issued shows that by the acquisition of these new roads the American Express Company has greatly Improved its facilities. Georcre C. Taylor, the new president. said that It would De his policy to ex tend the same high standard of aerv ice throughout the new lines that ob tatnod at other points and territory.

CENSORSHIP MOVE CAUSE Manager of Majestic, to an Extent Held Responsible for Mayor's Proposed Curt, Also Cites Business SCen's Letters. In answer to charges made by Mayor Albee to the effect that the Majestic Theater is to an extent responsible for the necessity for the drastlo con sorshlD ordinance proposed by the Mayor and the consorshlp board, Edwin F. James, manager or tne majestic issued a statement yesterday in which he outlines his actions which are saio to have led up to the necessity for the ordinance. Mr James says that he has always viewed the pictures himself before let- tlnar them, run and in cases oi ques tion aa to their propriety he has called others in to pass upon them. He says that the production of certain photo plays, which have caused criticism on the cart of the city officials, has been undertaken only after censorship by persons competent to pass upon the morality of the productions. Mr. James also produced letters from prom inent men Indorsing the character or shows given at the Majestic Following Is Mr. James' statement issued to the public: To 'the Public: For the past week mere have appeared In the dally papers of this nitv several interviews regarding tne pro posed censorship of photoplays, and ssveral reasons have been given as to Just why this was necessary, and it seems to be generally understood that I am to a certain extent responsible for the necessity of this drastic legislation. First, I want to say mat in tne past mr years jnore than 3,000,000 people have vis ited the Majestic Theater, and second, i want to explain one point that seems to have been overlooked by a number of our critics in regard to the picture drama. The producer of a successrui pnotopiay Is compelled to bring out the action of tne play in a very strong and forceful manner, which has been termed as grows exaggera tion by some of our critics, but Is absolutely nacauirv in order that the meaning of the play can readily be understood by all classes of people, and the people that criticise these scenes probably have never thought of the difference between tne suenl ana tne speaa- ing drama. Take some OI tne more praieniioiw pro durrtlons, such as "Quo Vadls," 'Judith or Bethulia," "The passion flay, -oapno. 'Daughters of Men." "less or tne oiorm Country," and all other silent dramas, tne serious and Interesting parts have been brouaht out in a strong, clean and refined manner, and tills Is absolutely necessary in order that each and every one can follow the story carefully and Intelligently. The Mayor of tnis city nas pointed out the Majestic Theater, of which I am the owner . and manager, as being the direct cause of the proposed new ordinance on ac count of my desire to snow a pnotopiay that was taken from the book of "Sapho." Dlav of this title has been shown from coast to coast and In fact all over the world In the speaking theaters, and Is considered one of the classic plays. The story aa taken from the book was clean and entertaining and I contracted for the appearance of this drama at my theater. When I announced the appearance of this play the Mayor called at my office and re fused positively to permit me to show this picture, and I called In the grand Jury to view It and their findings were unanimous my favor. The managers and swners of photoplay theaters In this city are not going lo pre sent to their patrons pictures that would be offensive to anyone fur l.ie simple reaaon that thuy are business iiipu ami do not con sider it good policy lo forc enterlalnmeiil on their patrons that thry Mi-."' v,,uld be detrimental to their best tui.ii-'.i In n-n-nl. and for tliat reason I believe l;.nt tlie mai ler of censorship to a Ims" should remain with the niannsrrs n1 owners, or to a committee of goo.l, tolM. luhtMautUI business men that would go on record and be responsible for the kind of entertainment that la provided In this city. I know that 70 per cent of my patrons are womea and children, and it seems strange to me that the Mayor of this city should be more Interested In providing a good, clean, moral entertainment In my theater than I am itiiiill. I have always made It a strict rule to see very picture privately before 1 offer It to the public and on numerous occasions I have eliminated scenes that 1 thought might ba criticised and which had been pasped by the census board, and 1 shall rnntlnue to do ao regardless of any legislation that may be forced on tha motion picture ezhlb Itora of this olty. In the oast few days I have Intervlewea a number of well-known business msa of this city and herewith offer you a rw si presslons from them and over their signatures. ED WIS r. JAM)'-.
